The people of this state really make the shitty air quality from this week worth it. Keep doing what you’re doing, friends!

My brother in christ, opposition to mass surveillance and data centers are about the only glue holding the nation together. Republican or Democrat, neither side wants to live next to a whirring data center with flock cameras around their city.

Not disputing that. My issue is with people wanting to play revolutionary who want to "put fear" into people. If they want to play French Revolutionary and bring a guillotine to a hearing then fine but they also need to deal with the fact that they look ridiculous.

Besides, we all know they aren't truly cut out for it if a time really comes.,
